June 1998

Big cumuli led to rain in the evening.

June 2nd. Continuous rain in the morning, just heavy enough not to be drizzle. Brightened up to big cumuli at dinnertime, windy in the afternoon and a calmer, clear evening.

June 3rd. Sun and large cumuli alternating, very heavy cold-front rain just before 3pm, unfortunately while I was out on my walk.

June 4th. Greyish but warmer than it looked.

June 5th. Grey and cold.

June 6th. Grey in the morning but very warm, some rain (very large drops). Cleared later.

June 8th. Was away by 2.40, just as it started to rain - as forecast, impressively.

June 9th. Grey at first, brighter later, windy all day.

June 11th. Wind and rain. Rained all afternoon, watched Chile v Italy (good, 2-2). Then weather cleared up to a golden sunset.

June 13th. Awful weather, rained all day till about 8.30pm. At least at times it was heavy enough to be interesting.

June 14th. Rain in the afternoon.

June 15th. Rained quite heavily in the afternoon, with one clap of thunder; had brightened up by the time The Simpsons was on.

June 23rd. Raining at 7am.

June 25th. Trudged back from town - it rained, but luckily I'd bought an umbrella. Helped Mike move house in between showers.

June 27th. A thunderstorm in the evening.
